To See Jesus and Not Even Know Who He Is

When you will understand Who Jesus is

The sermon centers on the critical distinction between seeing Jesus and truly knowing Him, emphasizing that physical proximity or intellectual recognition is insufficient without faith. It explores the tragic reality that many, including the Pharisees, saw Jesus yet failed to recognize His divine identity, highlighting that true knowledge of Christ comes through accepting His self-revelation, His sacrificial death, and His sinless nature. The preacher underscores that belief is not merely intellectual assent but a volitional act of the heart, rooted in the Father's truth and demonstrated through obedience and communion. Drawing from Scripture, he argues that Jesus' words, His crucifixion, and His perfect holiness are definitive proofs of His identity as the Son of God, and that only those who receive Him in faith become children of God. Ultimately, the message calls listeners to move beyond mere observation to genuine faith, echoing the blind man's confession: 'Lord, I believe,' and affirming that salvation lies not in seeing, but in believing the I Am.
